    I was lucky to pick this up as a replacement for my Xbox One S. The Setup is really easy. If you have Game Pass, at $299 the Series S is a steal. The quick resume feature is really nice. The only downside is the small internal memory. I hooked up an external HDD, and you can play non X/S enhanced games from it. You can also store games on there and transfer to the internal. It takes about 1 min per 10 GB to transfer. Eventually I'll get and external SSD to increase the transfer speed.

    Its the perfect gaming console for someone who plays about 2-3 games at a time. Its the sweet spot between hardcore gamer and casual chill on the couch and play some games. Beyond happy with the load speeds and sleekness of this next gen machine!

    My only complaint is that I had to buy an expansion card 2 days after turning it on. About half of the internal memory was taken up with only 5 games. Some games like marvel use over 80gb, so 500 gb goes fast.

    This is wild, works very nice, if the price is $400 +, don’t buy it, just wait to pay $300 for an Xbox series S
